In an era of rapid technological development, 3D printing, as an important representative of advanced manufacturing technology, is gradually changing the face of traditional manufacturing. With the continuous maturity of technology and the reduction of costs, 3D printing technology has shown broad application prospects in many fields such as aerospace, automobile manufacturing, medical equipment, and architectural design, and has promoted the innovation and development of these industries.

Single crystal materials alone cannot meet the needs of the growing production of various semiconductor devices. At the end of 1959, a thin layer of single crystal material growth technology - epitaxial growth was developed.

Silicon carbide is one of the ideal materials for making high-temperature, high-frequency, high-power and high-voltage devices. In order to improve production efficiency and reduce costs, the preparation of large-size silicon carbide substrates is an important development direction.

According to overseas news, two sources revealed on June 24 that ByteDance is working with US chip design company Broadcom to develop an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) computing processor, which will help ByteDance ensure an adequate supply of high-end chips amid tensions between China and the United States.

As a leading manufacturer in the SiC industry, Sanan Optoelectronics' related dynamics have received widespread attention in the industry. Recently, Sanan Optoelectronics disclosed a series of latest developments, involving 8-inch transformation, new substrate factory production, establishment of new companies, government subsidies and other aspects.

In the growth of SiC and AlN single crystals using the physical vapor transport (PVT) method, crucial components such as the crucible, seed holder, and guide ring play a vital role. As depicted in Figure 2 [1], during the PVT process, the seed crystal is positioned in the lower temperature region, while the SiC raw material is exposed to higher temperatures (above 2400 ℃).
